  • Managing operation of servers in a distributed computing environment
    Patent number: 6539426
    Abstract: A distributed processing system comprises hardware, e.g. computers (1,2,3,6,7, 9) and networks (8,10), supporting a user client applications, server applications capable of exposing user application interfaces to the user client application, and a management client application. The server applications are capable of exposing a common management interface to the management client application. Thus, the system can be managed at a lower level than is possible with prior art approaches.
